Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Usurping Control of Yin Corpse Formation

Thousands of years ago, Xiang Ma was sacrificed to act as the controller of the formation core and survived thanks to the emerald.

There was an argument to be made for humanity’s formation casting methods being superior to the fiends’ and elemental demons; however, it was a weak argument because the superiority was slight.

Upon touching the emerald, the formation core, Mu Yu acquired knowledge of the Yin Corpse Formation. The caster blew Greater Heaven Caster Lu and Zhou Jinglin’s standards out of the water. The formation was set underneath Desert Eagle Imperial City. The main lines were deep underneath but not covered. The pattern on the surface was used to prevent the yin corpse’s death qi from spreading until somebody tampered with it. The emerald wasn’t enough to figure out who the culprit was. Xiang Ma never fixed the lines as the alteration worked in his favour.

The first time Mu Yu controlled Yin Corpse Formation, he couldn’t control all of the yin corpses simultaneously. Even so, he could see what they could see. Thanks to the ability to share their vision, he determined Greater Heaven Caster Lu and Zhou Jinglin were on the verge of defeat.

Greater Heaven Caster Lu was sweating bullets and exhausted, while Zhou Jinglin was hanging on by a thread. Zhou Jinglin was covered in wounds, and his assistant already had an arm gnawed off. Zhou Jinglin ruthlessly attached a red talisman to Hu Shi.

“Greater Heaven Master, you…”

“Hu Shi, your life was mine from the moment I took you in as my assistant. We’re all in danger now, and I need you to help me escape. Don’t blame me.”

“Greater Heaven Master Zhou, I have always been loyal to you, yet you w-“

Hu Shi’s eyes widened as he counted down the time before he exploded – courtesy of the red talisman, which used the target’s spiritual energy as a trigger. As a Primordial Infant Realm cultivator, the explosion was the equivalent of an all-out strike from a Body Severing Realm cultivator. With only one arm left, it was impossible for him to peel off a talisman Zhou Jinglin planted on him. For insurance, Zhou Jinglin even restrained Hu Shi.

“I know you’re loyal. I won’t ever forget you.” Zhou Jinglin stuck a green talisman onto Hu Shi’s chest and inserted talisman scripts into it.

“Aaaaahhh!” Hu Shi could only scream as Zhou Jinglin propelled him toward Greater Heaven Caster Lu.

“Zhou Jinglin, what are you doing?!”

Greater Heaven Caster Lu couldn’t get away in time. Hu Shi, now a red mist, released life qi as per some setting Zhou Jinglin installed, drawing all of the yin corpses Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s way. The explosion wasn’t enough to hurt Greater Heaven Caster Lu. Nonetheless, he was standing in the mist and stained with it.

“Zhou Jinglin, you’re despicable!” Greater Heaven Caster Lu denounced, fighting off yin corpses at the same time.

The yin corpses had Greater Heaven Caster Lu pinned. One of them dug their hand into his chest to extract his heart. Another reached for his eyes.

“I’d rather die than become one of you!” Greater Heaven Caster Lu decided to cast a self-destruct formation on himself.

“Stop, stop, stop, that’s our just Greater Heaven Caster Lu. Stop!” Mu Yu commanded.

The yin corpses all froze. Those running obviously couldn’t brake in time. They lost several teeth when their fragile faces planted into the ground. Of course, their teeth would just reattach as their limbs did. Because they paused, Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s breathing sounded amplified. He calmed himself despite not comprehending what happened.

“Mu Yu, I have a great idea.”

“Me, too.”

“What are you two planning?” asked the dragon vine.

“I want the yin corpses to do a zombie dance,” answered Xiaoshuai.

“I want the yin corpses to do morning exercises,” responded Mu Yu.

“What’s a zombie dance?”

“What are morning exercises?”

Mu Yu cracked a smile. Village Chief Bu used to make kids at the village do a bunch of movements as morning exercise for health during his time there.

“I’ll show you.” Xiaoshuai jumped onto the emerald. He held his arms parallel to the floor, poked his head, tilted his head and jumped.

“Where did you learn that nonsense?”

“You taught me, didn’t you?”

“Since when?”

“You forgot? The first time we were at Ku Mu Valley and faced the celestial fiend tree, you did this dance to get close to it. The tree ate and nearly digested me, remember?”

“How can you be digested with your thick skin? Also, how could you have seen Mu Yu dancing if you were eaten?” questioned the dragon vine.

“Who said I can’t see outside if I’ve been eaten?” At the time, he looked out through the gaps in the celestial fiend fruit’s teeth.

“Oh, I remember now. You know what? I have an idea. I’m going to teach Celestial Star Sect a lesson. If they want to enter the city, I’ll stop them. Xiaoshuai, you lead the dance. You can do whatever you want with the yin corpses. Just make sure you hint to Greater Heaven Caster Lu that the formation is no longer a threat.”

Xiaoshuai jovially hopped onto the emerald and began leading the yin corpses through his zombie dance.

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, get out of there already. Tell Celestial Star Sect that the formation has been dismantled. They can come in now. I want to leave them with an unforgettable memory,” was what Mu Yu wanted to say.

“Don’t tell me something else has happened to the formation now,” Greater Heaven Caster Lu muttered under his breath, gulping. He vigilantly crawled to his feet and then dashed over to the hole Mu Yu went missing in. He shook his head and sighed, lamented, “I’m sorry, Feng Mu. I shouldn’t have had you join me.”

Greater Heaven Caster Lu was no longer in the mood to go near the city. He wanted out as soon as possible. Thus, he carefully waded his way through the dancing yin corpses without looking back.

Mu Yu stayed behind to wait for he knew Celestial Star Sect wouldn’t give up. Moreover, he needed to heal from the fight against Xiang Ma first, which required several hours.
